After another quarter of an hour, the door opened and Wang Shouye walked out.
Although he still had a sloppy appearance, his eyes were bright and his whole person's spirit was completely different from before.
He bowed to the Yang Family Ancestor to express his gratitude.
Then, a middle-aged cultivator from the Meng Family who came with Meng Qingshan walked into the cave.
This middle-aged cultivator was called Meng Changfeng, the son of the Meng Family's late patriarch.
Two hours later, a spirit qi vortex appeared above the cave again, but it was much smaller than the one caused by Wang Shouye's breakthrough.
The spirit qi vortex gradually shrank and finally disappeared, which was a sign of a successful foundation establishment.
The worry on Meng Qingshan's face finally faded and was replaced by a face full of joy.
With a new foundation establishment cultivator, as long as there were no accidents, the Meng Family could be stable for nearly two hundred years.
Although the Yang Family also won a Foundation Establishment Pill, the ownership of the Foundation Establishment Pill had not been determined, so no one reached foundation establishment.
The Wang and Meng Families bid farewell to the Yang Family Ancestor and then returned home.
Wang Zhian and Wang Shouye decided to return to Jade Spring Peak to celebrate.
Wang Daoyuan did not return, but stayed in Clear Glass Market.
Next, he planned to return to Green Willow Province.
Although there were many dangers and could be schemed against at any time, the probability of obtaining valuable spirit items was higher and it was easier to earn spirit stones.
However, after Shi Zhenbang made such a scene at the auction house, whether the Netherworld Sect would do something to Green Willow Province or not was still uncertain.
If he went to Green Willow Province now, he might be involved in the battle between the two sides, which was really not a wise move.
He planned to stay in Clear Glass Market for a while and wait for the storm of snatching the Foundation Establishment Pill to pass before going to Green Willow Province.
For the next period of time, he practiced alchemy in the cave in the backyard of the Pill Seal Pavilion.
After practicing for more than a month in Green Willow Province, he could already refine most of the first tier middle grade pills, and it was time to try refining the Essence Gathering Pill.
Although the Essence Gathering Pill was the simplest of the first tier high grade pills, it was still much more difficult to refine than the first tier middle grade pills.
Refining the Essence Gathering Pill required ten kinds of spirit herbs, more than all the first tier middle grade pills. There were many kinds of spirit herbs, so it was easier to fuse them together.
However, with Wang Daoyuan's Divine Sense cultivation, it wasn't too difficult for him to control the fusion of ten Spiritual Herbs.
In addition to the experience accumulated by the split soul, after failing six times, it was able to successfully concoct two Spirit Gathering Pills on its seventh try.
Only in the process of increasing the success rate of the Spirit Gathering Pill did he realize the difficulty of refining a first-tier high-grade pill.
After spending a month, he barely managed to raise the success rate to 3.5%.
At this moment, his level had already surpassed that of his clone, Liang Zixing.
The experience provided by his clone had already been fully digested. In the future, he could only rely on himself to improve his alchemy skills.
One month had passed in the outside world, while one year and eight months had passed in the space of the Spirit Pearl.
The flames in the top buds of the peach tree played a huge role. Of the thirteen seeds planted, seven had successfully germinated.
Although six of the seeds were completely destroyed, the result was still far better than he had expected.
Twenty-five years later, there would be seven Blood Jade Ginseng, which would be enough to refine seven furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills. Based on the thirty percent success rate, that would be twenty-one Foundation Establishment Pills.
Even if he ate them one by one, it would be enough for him to build his foundation.
Of course, he would also need seven demon cores. That was the most important part.
In this month, the situation in the Green Willow State could be said to have changed drastically.
The boss of the Green Willow State, Shi Zhenbang, had stolen a Foundation Establishment Pill under the eyes of the Underworld Sect's Purple Mansion Elder, set the auction house on fire, and escaped unscathed.
As one of the three overlords of Zhao, how could the Underworld Sect endure this?
Although the three sects were in a tense situation, there was no war at the moment. It was very easy for the Underworld Sect to mobilize a few people.
After Elder Zhou reported the situation, the Underworld Sect sent three Purple Mansion Realm cultivators and thirty Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to attack the Green Willow State.
Because the Green Willow State was within the Sky Beheading Mountain Range, there were many demon beasts. Qi Refinement Realm cultivators would basically be killed if they went in.
Therefore, they didn't send any Qi Refinement Realm cultivators.
Even so, this kind of strength was enough to massacre the Green Willow State.
However, the battle didn't progress smoothly.
The defensive formation of the Green Willow State was quite good, and there were many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators guarding it. The Underworld Sect besieged the formation for three days, but they still couldn't break it.
The energy source of the Green Willow State's defensive formation came from the spirit vein. If they didn't have enough strength, they couldn't directly break the formation.
The three Purple Mansion Realm cultivators weren't strong enough to break the formation, so they asked for help from the sect.
The Underworld Sect sent a Third Tier Formation Master to help.
However, the Purple Mansion Realm cultivators had been attacking the formation for three days, creating too much of a commotion and angering the demon beasts in the Sky Beheading Mountain Range.
Just as they were waiting for the Formation Master to arrive, they were attacked by several Third Tier demon beasts and over a hundred Second Tier demon beasts.
The Underworld Sect suffered heavy losses. They lost more than half of their Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and the rest were all injured.
Although the three Purple Mansion Realm Elders didn't die, they were all heavily injured.
This result caused the Underworld Sect to lose face. As one of the three major powers of Zhao, they couldn't take down a force without Purple Mansion Realm cultivators and suffered heavy losses.
It wasn't worth it to continue fighting.
The Green Willow State wasn't a real threat to the Underworld Sect's rule. It was just a little disgusting.
But if they wanted to completely take over the Green Willow State, they had to be prepared to pay a huge price.
To the three major sects, Golden Core cultivators were a strategic deterrent and couldn't be easily mobilized. Purple Mansion Realm cultivators were a high-end force.
When fighting between sects, Purple Mansion Realm cultivators were the main force and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were the backbone.
Most of the Purple Mansion Realm cultivators of the Underworld Sect were stationed at the border with the other two sects, while the rest were stationed at important properties.
They didn't dare to mobilize a large number of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators to attack the Green Willow State.
Currently, it seemed that a small number of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators wouldn't be of much use and might even die there.
Golden Core cultivators didn't dare to rashly go either. Not to mention the pressure from the two sects, if Golden Core cultivators entered the Sky Beheading Mountain Range, it would be fine if they didn't use force.
Once they used force and angered a Fourth Tier demon beast, it wouldn't be a small matter. It might cause a beast tide.
At that time, the Underworld Sect would be attacked from three sides by the two sects and the beast tide. They would definitely die.
Last time, they had been tricked by the two sects and had suffered heavy losses. They couldn't afford any more casualties.
Furthermore, even if they took over the Green Willow State, they wouldn't have much to gain. They would still have to send people to defend against the demon beasts and expend their own strength.
If they couldn't fight, they could only use conciliation.
Both sides discussed and decided that the Green Willow State would lower their stance and let the Underworld Sect have some face.
Everyone was pursuing a higher cultivation. It wasn't good to fight and kill.
In the end, both sides reached an agreement. The Green Willow State apologized to the Underworld Sect and compensated them with a total of a hundred thousand spirit stones.
As for the Underworld Sect, they said that the Green Willow State knew their mistakes and could change. They would let this matter go.
This was just what was on the surface. Outsiders didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
